NEW YORK, March 24 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were set to open
little changed on Tuesday, with futures fluctuating alongside
the dollar after data showed an uptick in underlying inflation
pressures and gains in home prices.

Traders are gauging how the Federal Reserve will react to

prices rose for the first time since June.

Markit's preliminary gauge of factory activity this month is

at OakBrook Investments LLC in Lisle, Illinois.
